When adrenaline is rushing through your system this is exactly the kind of simple and effective move you will be able to remember and execute in the heat of the moment. This self-defense technique targets the knee, which as you know is a very vulnerable joint. Not only is it anatomically vulnerable, but it is rarely defended by an attacker who is much more worried about a punch to his face.<!--more-->\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<div class=\"flex-video\" style=\"float:none!important;margin: 0, 0, 1rem, 0!important\">\n\t<iframe width=\"1365\" height=\"947\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3DqJgrdzPHE\" style=\"border:0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-10 medium-centered large-6 large-centered columns\">\n\t[dfads params='groups=290&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']<\/div>\n<h4>Breaking It Down<\/h4>\n<div class=\"small-12 medium-6 large-4 columns right align-to-p\">\n\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.fightfastvideos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/kick.png\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\nAs Paul says in the video, it doesn\u2019t get much simpler than this, and since most common fighting stances put one leg (the lead leg) in front of the other, most attackers will be sending you an open invitation to take out that lead knee.\n\nThe key to making this move successful is to strike the knee right when your opponent shows signs of throwing a punch. By making the move quick you will strike him first, taking out his ability to stand and deliver the punch, but keep in mind, this is not a lead-off move. Your attacker must be distracted in order to use this little self-defense trick.\n<h4>Practice Tips<\/h4>\nWhen you are practicing this self-defense technique be sure to have your partner keep his knee bent and aim for his shin. The knee is very sensitive and even at practice speed landing your foot on a locked-out knee can cause a lot of damage.\n\nWith that said, go practice this technique. It\u2019s <em>way<\/em> too easy not to learn and adds one more self-defense technique to your bag of nasty fighting tricks.\n\n[dfads params='groups=292&amp;limit=1&amp;orderby=random']\n<h4>About the Author<\/h4>\nPaul is a Jeet Kune Do master who learned under Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lee's main student and training partner).
